Chapter 15: A Sudden Murder

At that time, the village was in chaos, and the villagers who rushed out of the ancestral hall chased after the Taoist priest with flashlights, the Taoist priest chased Sister Bailing, and Sister Bailing chased the black-haired monster.

The Taoist priest soon discovered that the black-haired monster was targeting Grandma's house, and I was the only one in the house at the time, so if it was allowed to take the lead, the two people who stayed at home might be killed.

Sister Bailing, who was chasing in front, also thought of this and quickened her pace, and the buildings in the village were not built on flat ground, but were composed of many terrace-like hills, so most of the houses were scattered and distributed in a stepped manner. The ancestral hall is in the bottom of the village, and the grandmother's house is on a semi-mid-waist ridge-like slope, with many steps of bluestone in front of the door.

Sister Bailing was familiar with the road, accelerated slightly, and quickly disappeared behind the ladder wall. The Taoist priest had just walked through it, and he had probably memorized the route back, and was about to speed up to keep up, but found that the surrounding area was filled with mist at a very fast speed.

The fog appeared very abruptly, as if it was the smoke from the burning of damp straw somewhere, and in a few seconds, the surroundings were already wrapped in dense fog, and the sparse moonlight in the sky was also obscured by a dark cloud, and the vision was suddenly restricted.

The Taoist priest originally only roughly remembered the route, and together with the dense fog, he was immediately blind, and planned to wait for the villagers to catch up in the same place, find a guide and rush back, but he didn't expect to wait for more than half an hour, but there was no movement behind him, and even the flashlight disappeared.

What's going on? The Taoist priest had doubts in his heart, and at the same time noticed that something was wrong, and just wanted to retreat down the slope, but found that the road behind him was blocked by white stones, and there was still a beautiful woman with no clothes lying on the white stone, hooking her fingers towards him, making a seductive gesture.

Unlike me, the Taoist priest is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, he is a capable person, he knows that he is entangled in something, and immediately pinched the magic in his hand, recited the Taoist mantra, and when he looked at it again, the stone blocking the road and the beautiful woman were gone, but something more terrifying appeared in front of him.

It was a white bone skeleton, standing upright, with two bone claws covering the eyes of the Taoist priest, and the two jaws that had lost flesh and blood were closed one by one, as if smiling proudly, not realizing that the Taoist priest had seen through everything.

The Taoist priest immediately formed a seal to ward off evil spirits, concentrated on playing an evil spell, and the golden light was bright, and the white bones let out a miserable scream, black smoke rose from all over his body, and disappeared all at once.

The Taoist priest did not chase after him, he was proud, and when he wanted to turn back to find the villagers to lead the way, he heard a clear friction sound from the stone walls on both sides, like the sound of a giant snake crawling over the rubble. The Taoist priest immediately cheered up and guarded the surroundings, but what appeared still startled him.

I saw a python the thickness of a cigarette pouch suddenly jumped down from the stone wall, and wrapped it straight towards him, the Taoist priest was agile, dodged and dodged, and before he could see what it was, more than a dozen identical pythons suddenly flew out from other directions of the stone wall, and wrapped around him at the same time.

Even though the Taoist priest had three heads and six arms, he had nowhere to show it in this narrow space, and he was suddenly tied up in a strong knot, and it was only then that the Taoist priest saw the true face of the thing that bound him, it was not a snake, but a ...... O vamphivorous vine!

The Taoist priest was frightened with goosebumps, and his heart was shocked, and the encounter of Ah Ji Village suddenly came like a tide. The vine wrapped in the Taoist priest dragged it up the slope, and the top of the slope is the passage into the back mountain, if you drag it in, I am afraid you will face the same encounter as when you were in Aji Village!

At this time, the Taoist priest couldn't care about his face anymore, shouted for help, and when he didn't make a hurry, a basin of cold liquid splashed his mouth and face.

I don't know what the liquid is, it's so painful, but the ghost vine that entangles him suddenly retracts into the mist as if it had touched something terrifying. At this time, someone helped the Taoist priest up, and he looked at it and found that it was Sister Bailing, who was still holding a bamboo tube with green mucus in her hand.

couldn't wait to say thanks, Sister Bailing pulled him back into the yard, it turned out that unconsciously, the ghost vine took him back to his grandmother's house.

The Taoist priest wanted to ask out loud, but was stopped by Sister Bailing and told him not to do much, and he wanted to see if I was okay, but Sister Bailing didn't let him, just told him to go back to sleep and don't care about anything.

The Taoist priest is not the kind of person who can calm down, but Sister Bailing has a resolute attitude, and he can only give up temporarily. After returning to the room and scrubbing it, he slipped out again, and happened to witness the strange situation of me crying and screaming with my mouth wide open, my eyes white but never making a sound.

He was startled and wanted to call me, but was stopped by his grandmother, who almost did something to him. Fortunately, Sister Bailing appeared in time and drove the Taoist priest back to the room, and it was not until the next day that I explained to him that I had fallen into the first nightmare.

There was so much information that the Taoist priest passed on to me that I couldn't digest it for a while, but after slowing down, after clearing my thoughts, I asked, "You mean?" The monster they caught that night ran away, and it's still running here? ”

The Taoist priest nodded and said yes, and I asked again, "What's the matter with the ghost vine?" I don't remember that there is a ghost vine in my hometown? Could it be that the disappeared ghost vine in Aji Village actually ran here? ”

As soon as these words were asked, before the Taoist priest could answer, the voice of the two tigers suddenly came from the hall: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, something is wrong, you can follow me to take a look, are you there... Dao Chief? ”

The Taoist priest and I looked at each other, not knowing what the second tiger was referring to, so he shouted outside: "Come in, the Taoist priest is here!" ”

"Xiaoyi, are you awake?" Erhu was obviously taken aback, and hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw that I had really woken up, he seemed very happy, but it seemed that there was something urgent, and after greeting me a few words, he anxiously pulled the Taoist priest and walked out.

I grabbed him and asked what was going on, Erhu looked anxious, saying that the old Uncle Yang in the east of the village was dead, and he died a very weird and terrifying death, and asked the Taoist priest to go over to help see if it was an evil spirit.

Looking at Erhu's respectful attitude towards the Taoist, a lot of things should have happened in the past five days, although Erhu is honest, but he is also arrogant, and rarely convinces people, the Taoist priest can make him so respectful, it seems that the Taoist priest must have shown some means.

"Let's go, I'll go too!"

So saying, I let them help me up. Both of them looked at me in surprise, and Erhu wanted to stop it, but was stopped by the Taoist priest: "Let him go, you have been friends with him for so many years, you should know that you can't stop him!" ”

Erhu nodded, didn't say much, and didn't care if I wanted to or not, just picked me up and walked out.

On the way, I took the opportunity to ask Erhu what the situation was, and he told me briefly: "Early this morning, Uncle Hua's little baby went up the mountain to herd cattle, and when he came back, the melon baby was directly scared out of his soul, stupid, and only knew that it was called blood, blood, and the cow was lost." Uncle Hua didn't take the child's words seriously at that time, but the cow was lost, which made him angry half to death, but no matter what he asked, the baby would only cry blood and blood, no way, Uncle Hua could only look for it in the direction of Gua Wa up the mountain, and not long after, he also stumbled back, and as soon as he entered the village, he knocked on the door from door to door, saying that someone was dead, and there was blood all over the ground. ”

……

There is a stone tablet at the east end of Wawu Village, and I don't know what words are engraved on it, in short, it is a very scribbled and strange symbol. The old people in the village said that it was a charm to suppress evil spirits, and the content was a charm to suppress evil spirits, and I heard that in order to protect this stone tablet from being damaged, someone was even specially arranged to take care of it.

I've been in my hometown for many years, and I know a little bit about this stele, which was used by us to make clay urns. I also know Uncle Yang, he is the person who is responsible for looking at the monument, because this stone was not less beaten by him back then, so I am still more impressed by him.

Soon, I saw the sparse old willow tree at the head of the village, and found that the surrounding area was already full of villagers, and there were many people squatting on the ground and vomiting outside the crowd, and I didn't know what the situation was inside, but looking at Erhu's solemn expression, I knew that the situation inside must not be too good.
